In this hall of mirrors
I can't say why
The world can twist
In the blink of an eye
The foundations we stand on
Immutable seeming
Fall sudden beneath us
We fall like we're dreaming
No way of knowing
What the next turn may bring
The part we play showing
Hiding the sting
All the shadows around us
Divided we fall
Conflicted within
Not certain at all
The nightshade and absynthe
That flows through our veins
Blurring our vision
But won't dull the pain
And betrayal's a poison we choke but
won't swallow
The tears welling up as the patterns
dissolve
Leaving the soul aching, our insides so
hollow
Trapped in the orbit where spirits
revolve
In the stillness thereafter when it's
only our echo
The world stops moving and breath seems
to cease
Through the pain in these moments find
the us that we know
And in letting go of the past we find
our release
